Winds change, leaving us right back at the start
Stained with blood and badly bruised
On the curb with the garbage, becoming so used.

Rigid memorial and distraught appearances so cold
All we ever wanted was to live long and die old
Exhausted attempts at a normal life
When all we’re handed is a broken home and lifelong strife.

Chilly remembrance of the want and the need
On the memories of love do the evil thoughts feed
And we cry in our pillows when it gets cold at night
As we listen to mom and dad and the awful fight.

You put up the defenses and await the solution
Family life in your mind crowded by the pollution
The screaming starts when you’re asleep in your bed
But the anger echoes in the back of your head.

The nightmares wake you and you scream for some relief
In the back of your mind you grasp tight on some long forgotten belief
Await the decisions and the final defeat
And then off to your hole, time for a retreat.

Crime of the season, a broken heart
Winds change, leaving us right back at the start
Stained with blood and badly bruised
On the curb with the garbage, becoming so used.

Rigid memorial and distraught appearances so cold
All we ever wanted was to live long and die old
Exhausted attempts at a normal life
When all we’re handed is a broken home and lifelong strife.

Chilly remembrance of the want and the need
On the memories of love do the evil thoughts feed
And we cry in our pillows when it gets cold at night
As we listen to mom and dad and the awful fight.

You put up the defenses and await the solution
Family life in your mind crowded by the pollution
The screaming starts when you’re asleep in your bed
But the anger echoes in the back of your head.

The nightmares wake you and you scream for some relief
In the back of your mind you grasp tight on some long forgotten belief
Await the decisions and the final defeat
And then off to your hole, time for a retreat.

Yes... very gripping... very haunting...very...very sad... heartbreaking to know that this takes place somewhere in this old world everyday... I pray that God be with all who have gone... are going... will be going thru this in the future...
Thanks for this very awesome poem...

Domestic violence is a terrible thing to deal with, and the painful memories do stay with you for so long. I still have nightmares too.

On the other side of the coin, this is written very well, expressed deeply, and penned with true talent.

Truly,
-V.S.

ahh this was beautiful yer poems seem to have taken on a more philosophical tone, but in no way does that harm them I think it adds to them. Anyway as I mentioned before 'beautiful' poem.

How poignant, how powerful . . . like all of yours. I remain as impressed as ever-- wow, Lindsey, each poem of yours I read takes me to a new height in jealousy.
